Later, ESC, first known as roll-over mitigation, was introduced to prevent vehicle rollovers during braking. Today, both ABS and ESC are standard features in vehicles. Both systems use the ABS hydraulic control unit (HCU), which consists of an electronic module, hydraulic modulator, and pump.

Going this far would be unimaginable for most internal combustion powered vehicles. When you hit the brake pedal on most internal combustion vehicles, hydraulic pressure is generated by the master cylinder and sent to the calipers. The hydraulic pressure causes the calipers to clamp down on the brake pads and rotor.

If you work on brakes in your shop, you should be familiar with basic hydraulics and the components that make up the hydraulic portion of the brake system. The master cylinder is the heart of the braking system because it converts the driver’s pedal force into hydraulic pressure that activates the brakes.

Hybrids prioritize using regenerative braking, so the pedal acts more like an input to the ABS module requesting braking force rather than a direct hydraulic pressure request. More regen braking increases electrical generation but also provides a drag to slow down the vehicle.

This results in areas where hydraulic pressure drops as they pass by the caliper. It can occur in a vehicle with zero runout or DTV and is caused by brake torque variation (BTV), which occurs when there’s inconsistent torque across the rotor face and causes the rotor to slip and catch as brake pads pinch the rotor.
